Recruitment services

Professional interviewing

A good interview shows what a CV cannot. We run structured, role-specific interviews so you only meet people who can genuinely do the job.

• Competency-based and behavioural questions built around your role
• Assessment of communication, reliability and attitude
• Written feedback on every shortlisted candidate
• Scheduling and coordination between you and your candidates
• Preparing candidates before they meet you

Candidate screening

We filter applications so you don’t have to. Every applicant is checked against your requirements before anyone reaches your desk.

• CV review against the role’s requirements
• Phone screening for availability, salary expectations and notice period
• Checks on relevant qualifications and licences
• A shortlist made up only of suitable candidates
• Respectful updates to candidates who are not successful

Talent sourcing

The best people are not always looking. We search widely to find skilled candidates for permanent roles.

• Advertising your role on job boards and professional networks
• Searching our own candidate database
• Approaching suitable people who are not actively job hunting
• Referrals through industry contacts
• Recruitment across all the industries we serve, from construction and engineering to IT and hospitality
• Guidance on what talent and salaries look like in the market

Offer management and negotiation

The offer stage is where many placements fall apart. We manage it carefully for both sides.

• Discussing salary, benefits and expectations with you and the candidate
• Advising on an offer that is fair and competitive
• Negotiating terms, start date and notice period
• Handling counter-offers from the candidate’s current employer
• Keeping the candidate engaged until their first day

Culture fit assessment

Skills get people hired, but fit helps them stay. We look at how a candidate works, and whether your workplace suits them.

• Learning about your team, management style and values
• Questions on working style, motivation and teamwork
• Honest advice on how well a candidate is likely to fit
• Looking at what the candidate wants from their next employer
• Flagging possible mismatches early

We confirm that candidates are who they say they are, and that their history is accurate.

• Identity verification
• Qualification verification
• Employment history and reference checks
• Criminal record checks where the role requires them

Experience and competency evaluation

We test the claims on a CV so you can trust what you read.

• Review of work history, responsibilities and achievements
• Technical questions specific to the role
• Checking claimed experience with references
• A clear summary of each candidate’s strengths and gaps

Aftercare and follow-up

Our work does not end on the start date. We stay involved to help the placement succeed.

• Check-ins with the candidate and with you in the first weeks
• Early help with any onboarding or settling-in problems
• Feedback that improves future placements
• Discussing options if a placement is not working out
